Question

the area of a square is equal to the area of a rectangle whose length and breadth are 16 cm and 4 cm respectively find the length of side of the square

Answer 1

Area of rectangle =Area of Square(given)

Area of rectangle =l*b=16*4=64cm^2

Therefore, area of square=64cm^2

Answer 2

Answer:

The length of side of the square (a) = 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of side of a square = a cm

Dimensions of a rectangle:

Length (l) = 16 cm

breadth (b) = 4 cm

Now ,

According to the problem given,

Area of the square = Area of the rectangle

=> a² = l×b

=> a² = 16 cm × 4 cm²

=> a² = 64 cm²

=> a² = (8 cm )²

=> a = 8 cm

Therefore,

The length of side of the square (a) = 8 cm
